UFC 154 takes place Nov. 17 at Montreal’s Bell Centre. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FX and Facebook.

Damm vs. Carvalho likely will be part of the prelims.

Damm, a former Strikeforce and World Victory Road/Sengoku fighter, made his way to the UFC after his appearance on “TUF: Brazil,” where he advanced to the semifinals before dehydration forced him out of the tournament earlier this year. However, he returned and made his official UFC debut at UFC 147, where he submitted rival Anistavio “Gasparinzho” Medeiros to win a “Submission of the Night” award. The victory came after a 1-4 skid in pro competition.

Carvalho, meanwhile, signed with the UFC and debuted earlier this year after a three-fight win streak on the Canadian regional circuit. He suffered a unanimous-decision loss to Felipe Arantes in his promotional debut but rebounded this past month with a 71-second knockout of Daniel Pineda at UFC 149. He’s now 4-1 over his past five fights.
